    Hi, I am new to coding and new to ModX where I encountered some issues when upgrading from 2.1.1 to 2.1.3.

    I used this site for guidance. http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Upgrading+MODx (btw - Thank you for all the documentation about ModX!)
    Before the upgrade:

    • I saved off the core/config/config.inc.php file to make sure it wasn’t overwritten.
    • I made sure all the files in core/components were not overwritten.
    • I made sure all the add-on packages had the latest versions.
    • I also noticed I had lots of packages zip and unzipped files in the core/packages directory, so I made sure those were not overwritten when uploading the ModX 2.1.3 files.

    The upgrade was successful without any errors, but when I viewed my gallery page, the photos were no longer displaying. When accessing the manager in the Files tab, this error appeared on the right pane before selecting any files: "Could not find action file at:/myurl/core/components/gallery/index.php".

    On the same site, I was also using FormIt and Wayfinder. The menus were not appearing and the contact form was erroring and would not load.

    So I tried re-installing these packages, it seemed to have "fixed" everything were the site looks normal now, but I’d like to know what I did wrong for future reference so that future upgrades will more be seamless.

    Does anyone know why these errors occurred?

    Thank you in advance your help!
